Happy Monday--we're waking up to 1/2 a foot of snow this morning, and I'm not that mad about it...especially because I'm working from home. I really don't mind the snow in December/January, but come March I'm ready to hop on a plane and not come back until June. Oh, the joys of living in New England.
On Friday I was super productive and got all of my Christmas cards in the mail--I'll post what I sent later this week.
On Saturday my mom, sister and I headed into Boston for the Nutcracker--I was looking forward to this for
months. It's my absolute favorite holiday event.
We stopped at
Bostonia Public House first for brunch--it was our first time there, and it was really good. I think downtown Boston can be tough in terms of finding a good breakfast/brunch spot, but this didn't disappoint--I would definitely go back. I kept things light and healthy with their short rib biscuits and gravy.
We then made our way to the Nutcracker, and it was amazing--my mom got great seats and it totally put me in the Christmas spirit. After a cocktail at the Four Seasons and some quick shopping, we made our way home and I went to bed super early.
On Sunday my sister and I did an early Pure Barre class (it was a struggle getting out of bed but I'm so glad we went). We then ran a bunch of errands and I was able to finish my Christmas shopping. For once I feel totally on top of gift giving and it's a huge relief. (Sidenote: I was super pumped to see that Target is carrying a ton of
Hammond's candy for stocking stuffers--get the Pigs and Taters bar. Trust me).
I spent the rest of the day wrapping presents and watching movies, and made Ina's
meatballs for dinner. Although the weekend was completely jam-packed, it was completely perfect.
